A cutter 14 is vertically installed on the bottom surface of the tool holder 16.

[0022] Working principle: In use, the polyurethane foam cutting device is first powered by a power supply. The foam is laid flat on the conveyor belt of the conveyor device 2.

The fourth motor 7 facilitates the left-right movement of the outer shell 19 on the crossbeam of the gantry frame 3, which facilitates the horizontal cutting of the foam by the cutter 14. When cutting the foam, the first power supply... The telescopic rod 13 extends downwards, causing the lower plate of the pressure plate 17 to press down on the foam, preventing the foam from sliding and causing uneven cutting surfaces during cutting. The spring 11 and guide rod 12 facilitate the cushioning of the downward pressure of the telescopic rod 13, preventing damage to the conveying device 2. When the foam is pressed down, the piston rod of the cylinder 18 moves downwards, and the downward pressure distance is measured by the infrared sensor 15. When the cutter 14 cuts the foam, the moving speed of the conveying device 2 is equal to the moving speed of the gantry 3, and the moving direction is consistent, which facilitates the cutting of the foam.
